BATTLES AND LEADERS OF THE CIVIL WAR
The sixth number OF the Century Com.
pany's important war papers comprises
the details OF the struggle OF Shiloh or

one side by General Grant and Don Carlos

There has probably never appeared any ac-

The number contains elaborate field maps

has never before been published. With the

Thomas A. Sherwood of Missouri as
one emlnently worthy of consideration
In connection with the existing vacancy
on the bench of the United States Su.

Missouri worthy OF The Judicial appoint.

But quite q number OF reasons

There are those who think that Mr..

others who cannot understand why,

CLERKS IN A DILEMMA.

Why the New York clerks In the
Government Departments should be in
tuch peck of trouble and slough OF
irdecision about their contributions to
the New York Democratic campaign
fund, Is pretty hard to understand.
Nothing that Commissioner Oberly
has ever said or written on the subject,
nothing that is contained In the Civil.
Service Law, nothing that has ever
taken the form, or suggested even the
probability Of ruling by the Civil
Service Commission on the subject,
stands in the way of their giving to
the cause whatever they please.
Commissioner Lyman has expatiated
on general principles, and, In an en-.
tirely unofficial way, on the Importance
Of eliminating politics from the Gov.
ernment service altogether, but what
ever he has said Is rather In the nature
Of moral admonition than Of legal In.
timidation, and carries no governing
weight with 1t one way or the other.
What, then, is to hinder the clerks
from following the example of their
illusirious Chief Magistrate as matter
of political duty and In sums to suit
their means?
The Post intimates that they are
frightened by Mr. Oberly's numerous
letters, which is preposterous. When
Judge Oberly Issued his great pronun.
ciamento against the organization of
State associations for partisan purposes
he followed but the clear dictate Of the
law. The use Of money in certain
ways and under certain circumstances
is interdicted by the law, and his letters
have been nothing more than reminders
of this statutory Introduction. There
is no infraction Of the law In sending
money to the treasurer of State cam
palgn committee, and nobody has ever
said there was.
But the Post is not satisfied with dis
counting the intelligence of the clerks
10 this extent. 1t represents them as
being In most distracted frame Of mind
because of their inability to know what
10 do with the money they are pining
to get rid of. They are afraid to hand

the name of the treasurer of the New

handling drafts. checks, etc. Poor

THE RAIN.

The rain the rain the rain
II gushed from the skies and streamed
Like awful tears and the sick mgn thought
How pitiful II seemed;
And he turned his face away
And stared at the wall again,
His hopes nigh dead and heart worn out.
Oh, the rain the rain the rain
The rain the rain the rain
And the broad stream brmmed the shore,
And ever the river crept over the reeds
And the roots OF the syCamOres;
A corpse swirled by IN the DRIFT
Where the boat had snapped Its chain
And a hoarse- voiced mother shrleked and
raYed.
oh, the rain the rain the rain
The rain the rain the rain
Pouring, with never pause,
Over the fields and the green byways-
How beautiful II was
And the new made man and wife
Stood at the window pane
Like two glad children Kept from school.
